Record 2 2010-03-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Any of the simple sinusoidal components into which a periodic quantity may be resolved.

CONT

Here, we apply the theory of poroelasticity to predict the magnitude and phase of tidally induced temperature and velocity signals at the seafloor relative to each harmonic component of the ocean tide.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
CONT

Chacune des variations élémentaires du niveau de l'eau s'appelle une composante harmonique. La représentation de ces ondes (amplitude en fonction de la fréquence de l'onde considérée) constitue le spectre de marée déterminé à partir des élévations dans le temps du niveau des océans en un point donné.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Uno de los elementos armónicos en una expresión matemática de la fuerza productora de la marea y en las fórmulas correspondientes para la marea o corriente de marea.

Record 3 2009-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

One of the harmonic elements in a mathematical expression for the tide-producing force, and in corresponding formulae for the tide or tidal current.

OBS

Each constituent represents a periodic change or variation in the relative positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon, also called tidal constituent or component.

PHR

Harmonic tidal constituent.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Chacune des fonctions périodiques élémentaires qui, en se combinant, représentent le phénomène de la marée.

PHR

Composante harmonique de la marée.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Uno de los elementos armónicos en una expresión matemática de la fuerza productora de la marea y en las fórmulas correspondientes para la marea o corriente de marea.

OBS

Cada componente representa un cambio periódico o variación en las posiciones relativas de la Tierra, Luna y Sol.

OBS

componente: término de género gramatical ambiguo.

Record 4 1996-10-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Oscillatory waves caused by the interaction of water currents or by a rapid current setting in over an irregular bottom, e.g. a tide rip.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Ondes d'oscillation causées par l'interaction des courants ou par un courant rapide s'établissant au-dessus d'un fond irrégulier, par ex. rides de courant (de marée).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Ondas estacionarias causadas por la interacción de corrientes de agua o por una corriente rápida que fluye sobre un fondo irregular, por ejemplo una onda de fondo de marea.
